the costal margin. The green submarginal line is very distinct. Hindwing whitish. 30—38 mm. New Guinea 
(Mt. Goliath, 2000 m). 
D. dinawa B.-Bak. Forewing dark grey with metallic green scales. Base at the costal margin ochreous dinawa. 
green, the inner margin deep red, at the centre of the inner margin a green spot and behind it a dark one, 
distally white-edged. Between the cell and the apex traces of a dark spot. Hindwing of the whitish, margined 
with dark. $ 34 mm. New Guinea (Dinawa). From the Aroa River. 
D. chloriolus J. db T. (83 h). Forewing brown and metallic green of a variable intensity. Interior line chloriolus. 
double, in the $ straight, in the $ somewhat undulated. Exterior line double, composed of lunae. The 3 maculae 
are edged with light. The green submarginal line as in nitidus, before it blackish, behind it mostly greenish. 
Hindwing reddish-brown, the apical spot dusted with green. 36—52 mm. New Guinea (Mt. Goliath, Mambare, 
Utakwa R.), Sumatra (Mt. Korintji, 2000 m). 
On the abdomen 3 small tufts. Marking of forewing quite different. 
D, pallidifascia H 'tups. Ground-colour light reddish-brown. Interior line dark, double, vertical, ex- pallidifas- 
curved above the inner margin. Reniform macula light. Exterior line uniformly curved, before it deep dark 
below vein 2 and between veins 4 and 6. Distal area greyish-green or light brown, with a light dentate line 
before the dark submarginal line. Hindwing pale red-brown, at the costal margin darker. 40—48 mm. Sikkim, 
Singapore. germanus Rothsch. (84 a) is larger. Marking the same. In the $ the hindwing is yellowish-white, germanus. 
in the $ the white marginal line of the forewing is more broken up into spots. 45—52 mm. New Guinea up to 
altitudes of 800 m, Central Burn 1500 m. 
D. centrobrunnea Mats. In colour and scheme of marking quite similar to pallidif ascia, chiefly separated centrdbrun- 
by the shape of the exterior line which is only more sharply bent at vein 3, from where it runs vertically to the 
costal margin. $ 40 mm. Formosa. concentrica Mats, is probably a specimen of the somewhat variable 
pallidif ascia. Likewise from Formosa. 
D. takamukuanus Mats. It seems to be a small species with broad wings; that is all we can tell from takamuku- 
the figure. 30 mm. Formosa. anus. 
51. Genus: Pseiidostaiiropus gen.nov. 
On the whole, it recalls the African Desmeocraerula Strd. (Vol. XIV, p. 416, pi. 69 i). Antennae of 
and hind tibiae as in Desmeocraera. Forewing with erect scales. Veins 10 -(-7 + 8 + 9 stalked, 10 branches 
off shortly before 7. 
Ps. plagosus sp. n. (84 a). Thorax greyish-brown. Forewing creamy white, below the base of the cell piagosus. 
blackish-brown. Interior line double, obliquely outwards to the median vein, below it 2 short streaks inwards, 
the costal margin inside narrowly darker. Exterior line double, from + 3 costal margin obliquely outwards as 
far as vein 3, then inwardly removed and parallel on to the anal angle, where it is spotted. At the costal margin 
behind it a large dark brown spot, below it a few dots. Before and at the margin dark dots, the former edged 
with white. Abdomen and hindwing dark reddish-brown. 38—43 mm. Penang, Sumatra (Barisan Mts.). 
Type in the British Museum. — Formotensha marginalis Mats, described from Formosa might be the same, 
in which case Matstjmura’s name would be prior. 
52. Genus: Somera Wkr. 
Palpi erected to the frons. Antennae of pectinated to the tips, in the $ more feebly pectinated. 
Forewing broad. Vein 6 from the side of the narrow accessory cell, 7 and 10 + 8 + 9 from its apex. Abdomen 
at the base with a tuft. Type: viridifusca Wkr. 
S. viridifusca Wkr. (83 h). Ground-colour light green, the lines dark brown, interior line double, exterior viridifusca.. 
line notched, 3 or 4 fold. Between veins 2 and 4 mostly a brown spot. Sometimes at the cross-vein bluish- 
green dots. Hindwing red-brown. 50—60 mm. Sikkim, Ceylon, Sunda Is. 
S. brillians sp. n. (84 a). + Thorax and forewing lustrous yellowish-green. The double black interior brillians. 
line sharply extraangular below the cell. Besides many rows of black spots. Abdomen and hindwing red-brown. 
In the badly preserved $ the forewing is of a purer green, the thorax dark brown. 45 -55 mm. Sumatra (Mt. 
Korintji, 2500 m). Type in the British Museum. 
The two following species have much narrower wings similar as in the palaearctic genus Bxaereta (Vol. II, 
p. 291), and, the antennae of the not pectinated to the tips. 
S. smaragdiplena Wkr. $ forewing dark rusty brown with about 6 irregular emerald-green transverse smaragdi- 
lines. Length of wings 22 lines. Sarawak. According to the kind information by the British Museum, oxoia plena. 
Swh. and antonia Drc. are the same species.
